Meet Bong Soo Kim

Illustration

Dae Gu, South Korea

Age: 20

Are you a member of any club or student group?:I’m
a member of the Art Society at Union County College.

Favorite Class at Union: My favorite class is Fundamentals
of Painting. I like the way Professor Hildrew talks about painting and gives you
an idea of what art is. He helped me to think twice about painting.

Why did you choose Union?:I chose Union County College
to save money.

What is your fondest
memory so far at Union?:The fondest memory I have at Union County College is making new friends
I can trust. Winning a prize in the Student Art Contest also is a fond memory. There
are a lot of other skilled artists and I’m grateful that I won.

I’m
lucky that my picture was chosen to be displayed in the cafeteria. I like looking
at myself while eating.

Interesting fact about yourself:I
like pies.

What kind?:Cherry pies.

What is the biggest adjustment you had to make
coming to college?:The biggest adjustment I had to make was hiding my weird side and
being socially active.

If you weren’t hiding your
weird side, what would we see?:More
energetic and random.

Career or further education goals:I’m planning on transferring
to Jersey City University after I graduate from Union County College. I’ll major
in Illustration there.

Is there anything else we ought to know about you?:
I
like people who like pies.
